Citing Published Papers

You must clearly separate these 2 types of papers when citing on the project page. Hint - PubMed indicates when the paper is a review.

Research paper is based on original research.

Review paper is based on other published articles. It does not report original research and generally summarize the existing literature on a topic in an attempt to explain the current state of understanding on the topic.

Any stated finding on your project page, must cite a research paper(s).

Any paper that usefully summarises a research topic (a review), must indicate in the text that the citation is a review.
